is it the one who complained his phone didn't work because it got too hot but he submerged it in a pool *checks and finds I'm now blocked* helllll yeahhhh

Gen X needs to stop voting for its parents to take care of its problems, grow up and run for office

Bartenders are particularly skilled at dealing with assholes

I fully believe Hegseth has it in him to lose an entire ship, up to and including an aircraft carrier, and more importantly I think there's no one in the White House who would argue against risking it

Even the rightwing Washington Examiner

Screenshot of an Aaron Rupar tweet quoting Kash Patel at a DOJ press conference comparing himself to "an everyday American" who loves hockey, denying he was ever intoxicated on the job, and announcing a $250 million lawsuit against anyone who claims otherwise. The embedded image shows Patel speaking at a DOJ podium in a dark suit.

The U.S. Hockey team aren't your “friends,” you sad, sad man.

2 minutes of incredible TV
Garnet Hathaway accidentally smacks Sidney Crosby in the face with his stick before the faceoff and tries to go after Sid when he gets penalized and tells the officials call the dive, they do and eventually Hathaway calls Crosby a fucking baby 😂

This is in response to this story, about the Secretary of the Navy resigning, presumably to search for his missing neck

Honestly, I'm surprised Hegseth still calls it the "Department of the Navy" and not the "Department of Aquamen" or something else a fifth grader would think sounded cool

F.B.I. Said to Have Investigated Times Reporter After Article on Patel’s Girlfriend

So the FBI's priority list under Kash Patel is:

1. Investigate a journalist for reporting on the Director’s girlfriend

2. Sue The Atlantic for reporting on the Director’s drinking problem

3. Avoid arresting a single powerful man implicated in the Epstein files

How Trump Accidentally Handed Dems Their Big Win in Virginia The vote yes campaign featured Trump all of its closing ads in areas where it ran up huge numbers. Voters know who started this war.

Remarkable: 100% of the ads in Northern Virginia heavily featured Trump to turn out voters for the redistricting referendum in the closing days, a source tells me.

That's right, all of the ads were all about Trump. This backfired for him spectacularly.

Weird that they would fire the navy secretary who’s been overseeing a war we’ve won at least five times.

If any historians are interested in taking part in a roundtable on Teaching the Age of Trump at the next OAH, check this out!

There is a reason Watergate was broken by Woodward & Bernstein on the metro desk AND NOT by the White House press corps.

Izzy Stone was mocking White House reporters as useless back in the 1950s

100% there will be a war fought over which Jesus LLM gets to decide who gets to play on a Little League soccer team or what kind of muffins get sold at a PTA fundraiser or something. It will last 30+ years, kill thousands of people, and gestate a new strain of flu.
